The body of a motorcyclist was found near an abandoned and
damaged utility at Truganina, in Melbourne's west, by two walkers
about 6am (AEST) today.

Police suspect the motorcycle came into collision with the white
utility, which rolled for at least 30 metres.

Local residents awoken by the collision said two men from the
ute had an argument before leaving the scene.

Two hours later, a 24-year-old Scottish man was killed when his
four-wheel-drive rolled in Ocean Grove, south-west of
Melbourne.

The man, who was living in nearby Barwon Heads, died at the
scene while two passengers were taken to Geelong Hospital with
minor injuries.

Just before midday a woman in her early-20s died in a
two-vehicle collision at Lilydale, in Melbourne's outer-east.

Police said the woman's car collided head-on with a van on Hull
Road and she died at the scene.

The Metropolitan Ambulance Service (MAS) said a front seat
passenger, a 15-year-old girl, was airlifted to the Royal
Children's Hospital with chest and other upper body injuries in a
serious but stable condition.

A man in his late 20s was taken to The Alfred hospital with
upper body and facial injuries in a stable condition.

Two men, one aged in his early 20s and the other in his
mid-teens, suffered fractures and were taken to nearby Maroondah
Hospital.

Victoria's road toll now stands at 275, seven more than for the
period last year.
